Unidentified sound near Big Bend, California

After catching a large trout late in the day far downriver, the witness climbed the gorge in darkness and tried to find the road through brush. A large unseen presence to his left breathed deeply, walked through vegetation rather than around it, and paced him, stopping and moving with him. He broke his pole, was struck by a whipped branch, reached the road, ran to camp, and later saw brushed-down vegetation where he emerged.
